All the rain in Columbus this week has got us thinking a lot about downspouts and gutters. Each year, we accept tens of thousands of pounds of aluminum gutters and downspouts for recycling. 

Aluminum recycling is a great way to help conserve resources while also getting paid. Recycling aluminum helps to conserve raw bauxite (used in the aluminum manufacturing process), and it also keeps these materials out of the landfill. Producing new gutters and downspouts from recycled aluminum also uses less energy than producing them from raw materials. And aluminum can be recycled almost indefinitely without any loss in quality, unlike other materials like paper and plastic. 

Whether you're a homeowner looking to dispose of a few old downspouts and gutters you're replacing, or a contractor or manufacturer with tons of scrap to get rid of, let Research Alloys help you recycle your old aluminum. We offer a convenient drive-through recycling option-- Columbus's only fully enclosed scrap yard-- as well as roll-off containers and free pickup for larger quantities of material. Call us at (614) 224-4404 to get today's aluminum gutter pricing.
